Frequently Asked Questions: Car Accidents in Reno, NV
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Nevada?
In most cases, Nevada law gives you two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. Claims against government entities may have shorter deadlines. Contact an attorney immediately to protect your right to compensation.
What if the other driver has no insurance?
Your own uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage may provide compensation. A car accident lawyer can identify all available recovery options.
What if I was partially at fault?
Nevada's modified comparative negligence law allows you to recover damages as long as you are less than 51 percent at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault: another reason to have an attorney assess liability before making any assumptions.
How much is my car accident case worth?
Every car accident case is different. Value depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost income, and quality of evidence. Our attorneys can give you a clear picture after reviewing your case.
Do I have to go to court?
Most cases resolve through negotiated settlements. However, if the insurer refuses to offer fair compensation, our attorneys are fully prepared to litigate on your behalf.
Reno's Roads Are Dangerous: Know Your Rights
Reno's growth has intensified traffic across high-risk zones. McCarran Boulevard alone recorded eight fatal intersection crashes between 2019 and 2023, with East 4th Street, Oddie Boulevard, and Sullivan Lane among the city's most hazardous corridors. Whether your car wreck occurred near the Spaghetti Bowl interchange, in the South Meadows neighborhood, or anywhere across Washoe County, Bradley Drendel and Jeanney serves car accident victims throughout the greater Reno-Sparks area.
